Water Ionizer Machines Help You Gain More Beautiful Hair

Did you know that the pH level of your water can affect the beauty of your hair? Maybe you’ve even bought pH-balanced shampoo for this reason. Acidic water is actually great for beauty routines of the hair and skin because these parts of the body are naturally on the acidic side of the pH scale. Learn how you can create acidic water from your own tap water with water ionizer machines.

Using Acidic Water for Hair

The hair and the oil on your scalp have a pH in the range of 4.5 to 5.5, which is on the acidic side. The acids maintain hair health and beauty by keeping the cuticle closed and warding off problems from bacteria and fungi. Your hair’s natural pH balance might be changed because of products you use, the hair dying process, your home’s water and other factors. Since normal water is on the alkaline side of the pH scale, your hair can go too far to that side just from washing it. Strangely, most shampoo is in the alkaline range as well, adding to the alkaline nature of the water. Interestingly, people with curly hair tend to lean toward the alkaline side and need help to make their hair more acidic.

While some people use acidic products or foods, such as apple cider vinegar, to bring more acidity to the hair, you can use acidic water from water ionizer machines. Set your machine so you get acidic water at a pH level of 3 to 4. Wash your hair with this acidic water and it will close the cuticle of the hair for smooth, beautiful and moisturized strands. It also helps balance the alkaline level of the shampoo to give you an ideal balance. A great method is to rinse your hair with acidic water before you wash it with regular shower water, and then to rinse it again with the acidic water after washing.

What About Alkaline Water?

You may have heard about the many ways that alkaline water can support your health. Since acidic water helps acidic hair, does water on the alkaline side have any benefit to hair? The answer is that it might when you drink alkaline water instead of applying it to the hair. Alkaline water has been associated with counteracting hair loss. Plus, boosting your health by drinking alkaline water could show itself through a more beautiful exterior. So you could use both alkaline water on the inside of your body and acidic water on the outside to give a double boost to your hair.

You can use a reverse osmosis water filter or other water ionizer machines to cleanse your home’s water and change its pH to different levels on the pH scale.
